While being poked and prodded, who would expect him to be happy? So here’s what we need to do to save ELVIN. Contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE which is a MUST because of his frightened nature. OFFER to FOSTER .If only for awhile. But guaranteed once this striking gentleman gets used to NEW surroundings he will win your heart (and home) FOR LIFE!

08/05/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/05/15 18:47 Elvin is a male black and white stray who was brought into ACC today. Elvin is 13 yrs. old and is neutered and appears to be in good health. Elvin was calm and aloof throughout the Intake process allowing himself to be transferred into a new carrier with minimal effort. Elvin was not social as he would not allow himself to be collared and only allowed himself to be photographed inside of his carrier. Elvin appears aloof and will need time to adjust to his new environment.

08/11/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to Assessor: Elvin becomes stiff and alert upon approach, and slowly retreats to the back of his cage. He focuses on the assessor when softly spoken to. Reaction to cage door opening: Elvin remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Elvin does not allow touch; he hisses and strikes at the assessor’s hand. He backs away afterwards and lip licks. Behavior Determination: New Hope Only Elvin is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He has tried to swat and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.

If you are local to the Tri-State, New England, and the general Northeast United States area, and you are SERIOUS about adopting or fostering one of the animals at NYC ACC, please read our MUST READ section for instructions, or email [email protected]
